Category Archives: Did You Know?

I’m going to attempt to write this as best I can to accommodate both the laypersons and tech-savvy alike, as it affects everyone. I don’t want to ostracize those whom don’t fully understand the technical aspects. If I seem to you to be rambling, just scroll down a little bit as opposed to not encompassing yourself in the crucial information.

A bit of history

In the beginning of 2007 a Trojan (a program that poses beneficial, or intended, that is actually a piece of malicious software), now called DNSChanger, allegedly infected, at it’s peak, 4 million computers worldwide. DNSChanger modified the DNS (I will explain in depth later for those that do not know what this is) settings of the infected computer to redirect many random web requests to companies and affiliates that paid for traffic. It is speculated that the individuals responsible have acquired $14 million through this endeavor.
In November of 2011 law enforcement authorities working in tandem with the FBI, as part of what they called “Operation Ghost Click”, arrested six of the seven individuals in Estonia allegedly responsible for the Trojan. Roughly 100 servers posing as legit DNS servers were seized. This (allegedly) posed as a conundrum to the FBI; all of the infected computers would no longer have access to the internet with these servers being shut down, so they (allegedly ;)) opted to fire up servers in their place via Internet Systems Consortium, a non-profit organization, to allow for the infected to disinfect. This was to go on for four months- March 8th these servers were to be shut down. But then the prosecutor requested an extension with the Southern District of New York in light of all of those that were still (again, allegedly) infected. This extension ends on July 9th.

A bit of technical information

A DNS (domain name service) server is a lot like a phone book. You know the person’s name, and use it to find their phone number. In this scenario, you know the website, e.g., www.google.com. Your computer asks the DNS server for www.google.com’s ‘phone number’, or IP address, then your computer connects to the IP address it was given and requests the information for which you asked.
An IP address is, this is a mere compendium for those of lackluster technical background, number that identifies yours, or another’s, computer on the worldwide web. Your IP address, a unique number, specific to you is given to you by your ISP (internet service provider).
The way the DNSChanger Trojan would work is that it changed the DNS servers, typically assigned for you by your ISP, to one of their ominous DNS servers. When you would, for instance, attempt to connect to www.startpage.com, instead of giving you the proper IP address (216.218.239.178) it would give you the IP address to one of their affiliates advertisement servers that, in turn, would generate revenue for the developers of the Trojan.

Let us talk of pragmatic solutions

The typical, and regularly practiced, remedy for such a situation is that the internet service provider of the infected user blocks the users access to the internet and sends a notice to said subscriber informing them of their apparent infection, along with information regarding its resolution. In past occurrences at this point the user would acquire the services of a computer technician and the technician would fix the problem. The user would then notify their internet service provider that they have remedied the issue, and service would be restored.
The former was not the route taken. As reported by the Huffington Post, the FBI opted to spend $87,000 of tax payers’ money to run these “clean servers” for 8 months. How ‘kind’ of the FBI. But this is not at all typical behavior of the FBI- to, seemingly, immediately spring into action on behalf of the American people, or any people for that matter. But I’ll delve more into the typical behavior of the FBI when it comes to Americans and the internet later down the line.

Let us discuss numbers

As I stated toward the beginning- at its peak the Trojan infected 4,000,000 users worldwide and to this day allegedly still infects 500,000 in the United States. Worldwide, there are 2,267,233,742 internet users. In the United States there are 313,232,044 internet users. At its peak it infected 0.176% of internet users worldwide. Right now it, allegedly, infects 0.159% of internet subscribers in the United States. Since when has the FBI expressed concern for even 65% of any populous, let alone 0.159%? One assumed theory is that they care because six people are rolling around in $14 million dollars. But the other, more probable reason will come later; we’re only talking numbers right now.
And on the issue of numbers… let’s talk about the alleged 500,000 people in the US that are still infected. Doing a bit of research within the Antivirus companies’ reports, for instance Norton- reporting DNSChanger (they report it as Trojan.Flush.K) as having only 0-49 infections. The other top manufacturers I checked (McAfee, AVG, Kaspersky, Trend Micro) weren’t as specific as to an infection count, but all reported infection level as low, and all reported impact as low.

ILOVEYOU

I remember back in 2000- May 5th to be exact; The meanest, most wide-spread worm in history was launched. The ILOVEYOU worm. This was a relentless digital beast of such ferocity that had never before been seen. Within 10 days it infected more that 50 million users. And oh the maliciousness! Overwriting images and corrupting data. It was estimated that it caused over $5.5 billion worldwide. But where was the FBI on their white horses with an attempted intervention? Vacant. They caught the individuals involved and that was it.
The irony? The DNSChanger is not destructive. It merely causes acute, isolated internet access disruption for the user infected.

Let us whisper of entropy

Ahh, yes. We have come to the proverbial “meat and potatoes” of the real issue. Free access to information by the masses. “How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don’t think.” –Adolf Hitler
But how better would it be for governments that the people they administer know not about what to think? Much better. When feigned truths float amongst us like clouds they escape even the greatest reach, but when said truths lie at our feet like weeds they face the sickle of us all.
In June of 2010 Israel and the United States released a worm, called Stuxnet, into the infrastructure networks of Iran to disrupt their uranium enrichment process. Of course this wasn’t admitted by the establishments, but it was quite obvious. It was another “false flag attack” for the United States to reign in more control. I remember when all of this was going on our government was demanding stricter enforcement and control over the internet. There has always been the desire for an “internet kill switch”. We saw evidence of the internet killswitch in early 2011 during the staged Egypt revolution. But most people didn’t hear about that. Nor did they understand that another form, a server-side, DNS based form was being tested when the Department of Homeland Security “accidentally” shutdown 84,000 websites in one incident and 76 more websites in a separate incident.
It didn’t take the FBI 4 years (outbreak of DNSChanger in 2007 until the arrests in 2011) to track down the culprits. It should have taken 6 months at best. When you’re dealing with so many financial ties and ISP subpoenas everything you need is right in front of you. They were just following standard operating procedure- in the words of that piece of globalist trash Rahm Emanuel “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.”
So they’ve set the precedent with their own manufactured cyberterror attacks. They’ve shown that they’ve accomplished the ability to do a full internet shut down in Egypt, a server-side shut down via the 84,000+ websites they simultaneously shut down as they say “by accident”. And now this is just the live beta test for the client-side shut down. This Trojan is nothing of significance. This measure in which they are taking is absurd. This article, I hope, is the kind hand reaching out from the ether, lifting the veil from your eyes and pointing you in the direction of truth.

(NaturalNews) Many people think occasional junk food indulgence can be balanced out by skipping meals later in the week or by putting in some extra time on the treadmill. The truth is that the consequences of this type of eating can turn up in unexpected ways, often years later as toxins accumulate in your body and cause serious illnesses like cancer or diabetes.

It is only in the past several decades that the abundance of toxic chemical ingredients in food, have made the consequences of dietary indulgences so lethal. In order to boost profits, food purveyors use chemicals which have a similar effect to the tobacco industry’s addition of nicotine to tobacco, making a substance at once more addictive and more deadly.

Mystery Ingredient #1

Take this quiz to help you to see how much you know about the real results of fast food snacking: What was concocted in a laboratory in 1908 and is present in nearly every non-dessert item on KFC’s menu?

What “seasoning” did the US begin manufacturing subsequent to WWII after learning that rations for soldiers on the opposing side included this substance?

When the FDA “generally regarded as safe” (GRAS) standard for food additives was established in 1958, what substance was grandfathered in without any testing to verify its safety?

What food additive, so omnipresent in fast food restaurants that even salads often contain it, has been linked to obesity as well as depression, migraines, mental confusion, dizziness, anxiety or panic attacks, stiffness, joint pain, loss of balance, slurred speech, diarrhea, blurred vision and ADHD?

What chemical substance do food manufacturers love to use so much that they have developed a long list of aliases to hide its presence from consumers?

If you answered MSG to all of the above questions, give yourself a gold star for knowledge of food chemicals.

Mystery Ingredient #2

What popular sweetener, present in most soft drinks and “sports drinks,” is manufactured via a process which makes use of glutaraldehyde, an embalming chemical?

What sweet-tasting ingredient, found in such diverse products as McDonald’s Baked Hot Apple Pies, children’s vitamins and commercially prepared salad dressings is frequently contaminated with mercury because of the method by which is it prepared in factories?

What food additive delivers calories yet chemically fails to satisfy hunger, causing people to eat more than necessary? Because this substance does not stimulate insulin secretion or reduce the hunger hormone ghrelin, people continue to eat while the body converts what they consume into fat.

If you know the answer to the above 3 questions is high fructose corn syrup (HCFS), you are well-informed. This is a challenging accomplishment considering how much disinformation the food manufacturers, the government and the mainstream health establishment put out about HCFS being harmless. Beware, however, because the food industry has been mulling a name change for this ingredient, possibly calling it “corn sugar” or some new brand name so they can continue to take advantage of subsidized US corn.

Mystery Ingredient #3

Which of the following fast foods does NOT contain dimethylpolysiloxane, an anti-foaming agent also used in caulks and sealants and Silly Putty:

The correct answer is “f” none of the above. (Chances are if your child swallowed some caulk, you would rush to the emergency room. Perhaps people should start doing the same if their children consume fast food.)

Soda, which is loaded with sugar primarily in the form of high fructose corn syrup, is a leading contributor to the rising rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and other chronic diseases facing Americans.

So when I say that drinking a can of soda is just as bad for you as smoking a cigarette (and maybe even worse) it is not an exaggeration.

Drinking soda is in many ways worse for you than smoking, and it is only because of massive marketing campaigns from the industry that these sugary beverages are deemed acceptable for our most vulnerable members of society – our kids.

In the 21st century there would indeed be an uproar if tobacco companies attempted to target our kids, but the soda companies do it everyday.

It’s time to wake up and face the facts: the soda industry is out for your children, and the message they send is every bit as damaging (and manipulative) as the one spewed by Big Tobacco.

Striking Similarities Between the Soda Industry and Big Tobacco

If I asked you to quickly recall a commercial or slogan from leading soda companies, like Coca-Cola or Pepsi, could you do it?

Chances are you’d have no trouble recalling the friendly polar bear commercials or “the real thing” logo, and if you asked your kids, they’d probably come up with a few too.

This is just the tip of the iceberg for how beverage big-wigs have gotten their products firmly embedded into the homes of millions of Americans and others worldwide. Coca-Cola, for instance, spends close to $3 billion a year on advertising. With that amount of money it’s no wonder the company has managed to hold on to its wholesome reputation.

They, and other beverage giants, are also in the habit of forming strategic alliances with health organizations that make it appear as though they are looking out for your health, which is about as laughable as Big Tobacco sponsoring a marathon. And like Big Tobacco, they also create front groups to fight anti-soda legislation and science.

The American Beverage Association, which represents Coca-Cola, Pepsi and other soft drink producers, has attacked suggestions to tax soda as “discriminatory.” Their organization is touted as a “neutral forum,” but in reality is devoted to discrediting negative press against soft drinks. For instance, in relation to obesity, ABA states, “All of our industry’s beverages can be enjoyed as part of a balanced lifestlye.”

The soda industry has created the front group Americans Against Food Taxes, which runs anti-tax campaigns. As Kelly Brownell wrote in Time:

“The name of the group implies a patriotic, grass roots movement, not a highly financed entity initiated and organized by industry.”

Another industry-created front group, Foundation for a Healthy America, recently donated $10 million to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia to research and prevent childhood obesity! Diet Coke has also teamed up with the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) to raise awareness for women’s heart health programs and was the official “Beverage of Choice” for the 2010 winter Olympics.

The soda industry funds research to discredit links between soda drinking and health problems. Brownwell writes:

“The tobacco industry paid scientists who did research disputing links between smoking and lung cancer, the addictive nature of nicotine, and the dangers of second-hand smoke. The soda industry funds scientists who reliably produce research showing no link between SSB [sugar-sweetened beverage] consumption and health. The tobacco industry bought favor from community and national organizations by giving large donations. In an ironic twist, Coca Cola and PepsiCo are corporate sponsors of the American Dietetic Association.”

The Top Reason to Give Soda the Boot …

Some of you reading this are undoubtedly thinking, how bad could soda really be? From my perspective, there is absolutely NO REASON you or your kids should ever drink soda. If you were stranded in the middle of a desert with no other fluid available, then maybe, but other than that … none, nada, zip, zero. No excuses.

The fructose content of the high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) used in many popular soda brands has been sorely underestimated. Around 100 years ago the average American consumed a mere 15 grams of fructose a day, primarily in the form of fruit. One hundred years later, one fourth of Americans are consuming more than 135 grams per day, largely in the form of soda.

Fructose at 15 grams a day is harmless (unless you suffer from high uric acid levels). However, at nearly 10 times that amount it becomes a major cause of obesity and nearly all chronic degenerative diseases. Instead of consisting of 55 percent fructose and 45 percent glucose, many soda brands, including Coke, Pepsi and Sprite, contain as much as 65 percent fructose, nearly 20 percent higher than originally believed.

The Down and Dirty About Fructose

The American Beverage Association and other front groups will try to persuade you that fructose in high fructose corn syrup is no worse for you than sugar, but this is not true. ABA also claims there is “no association between high fructose corn syrup and obesity,” but a long lineup of scientific studies suggest otherwise.

For example:

Dr. David Ludwig of Boston Children’s Hospital did a study of the effects of sugar-sweetened drinks on obesity in children. He found that for each additional serving of a sugar-sweetened drink, both body mass index and odds of obesity increased.

The Fizzy Drink Study in Christchurch, England explored the effects on obesity when soda machines were removed from schools for one year. In the schools where the machines were removed, obesity stayed constant. In the schools where soda machines remained, obesity rates continued to rise.

In a 2009 study, 16 volunteers were fed a controlled diet including high levels of fructose. Ten weeks later, the volunteers had produced new fat cells around their hearts, livers and other digestive organs. They also showed signs of food-processing abnormalities linked to diabetes and heart disease. A second group of volunteers who were fed a similar diet, but with glucose replacing fructose, did not have these problems.

Liver burden number one: After eating fructose, 100 percent of the metabolic burden rests on your liver—ONLY your liver can break it down. This is much different than consuming glucose, in which your liver has to break down only 20 percent, and the remaining 80 percent is immediately metabolized and used by the rest of the cells in your body.

Liver burden number two: Fructose is converted into fat that gets stored in your liver and other tissues as body fat. Part of what makes fructose so bad for your health is that it is metabolized to fat in your body far more rapidly than any other sugar. For example, if you eat 120 calories of fructose, 40 calories are stored as fat. But if you eat the same amount of glucose, less than one calorie gets stored as fat. Consuming fructose is essentially consuming fat!

Diet Soda is NOT a Safe Alternative to Regular Soda

If you think you’re better off drinking diet soda, think again. In fact, if I had to choose between the two, I’d take regular soda over diet. Instead of fructose, diet soda contains artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame or sucralose (Splenda). With all the research now available on aspartame and its various ingredients, it’s hard to believe such a chemical would even be allowed into the food supply, but it is, and it’s been silently wreaking havoc with people’s health for the past 30 years.

Does Soda Actually Cause Violence?

It’s a well-known fact that poor diet, particularly one high in sugar, exacts a toll on your emotional health.

For example, one recent study published in the journal Psychology Today found a strong link between high sugar consumption and the risk of both depression and schizophrenia. It’s also a well-known fact that chronic inflammation plays a major role in heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and cancer. So consuming excessive amounts of sugary beverages can truly set off an avalanche of negative health events — both mental and physical.

A diet high in sugar, fructose and sweetened beverages like soda also causes excessive insulin release, which can lead to falling blood sugar levels, or hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia, in turn, causes your brain to secrete glutamate in levels that can cause agitation, depression, anger, anxiety and panic attacks.

A new study further supported this point, and revealed that frequent soft drink consumption was associated with a 9-15% point increase in the probability of engaging in aggressive actions, even after controlling for gender, age, race, body mass index, typical sleep patterns, tobacco use, alcohol use and having family dinners.

“There was a significant and strong association between soft drinks and violence. There may be a direct cause-and-effect relationship, perhaps due to the sugar or caffeine content of soft drinks, or there may be other factors, unaccounted for in our analyses, that cause both high soft drink consumption and aggression.”

The effect is not a new finding, as in 1979 the now notorious “Twinkie Defense” was used in a murder trial for the first time.

“In a notorious 1979 San Francisco murder trial, lawyers blamed the killer’s actions on his recent switch from a health-food diet to one filled with Coca-Cola and other junk food. Their argument worked. Instead of a homicide ruling, the defendant was convicted of a lesser offense of voluntary manslaughter. The legal strategy became known as the “Twinkie Defense,” and the precedent raised a number of questions that persist, despite years of research on the subject.”

Processed Food “Rebates” Dominate School Cafeterias

Soda manufacturers are not the only ones scheming for a permanent share of your child’s diet. In an article published on La Vida Locavore, Ed Bruske revealed, possibly for the first time, that manufacturers of sugar-laden processed foods pay “rebates” (aka “kickbacks”) to food service companies that serve school districts across the United States.

Bruske obtained documents under the Freedom of Information Act that revealed more than 100 companies paid rebates to Chartwells, a food service management company hired by D.C. Public Schools. As you might suspect, the “rebates” present a conflict of interest that could prompt Chartwells to order food for your children based on the amount of rebate it will receive, versus the food’s nutritional value.

The end result?

School lunches that contain heavily processed foods like muffins, pizza, tator tots and flavored milk in lieu of fresh produce.

According to Bruske:

“Manufacturers pay rebates based on large volume purchases — literally, cash for placing an order. Rebates are said to be worth billions of dollars to the nation’s food industry, although manufacturers as well as the food service companies who feed millions of the nation’s school children every day — Chartwells, Sodexo and Aramark — treat them as a closely-guarded secret.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture requires that food service companies engaged in “cost reimbursable” contracts with schools credit any rebates they receive to their school clients. For more than a year, attorneys for D.C. Public Schools refused to make public an itemized list of rebates collected by Chartwells, claiming the information constituted “trade secrets.” The schools were overruled by Mayor Vincent Gray’s legal counsel after I filed an administrative appeal.

John Carroll, an assistant New York State attorney general investigating rebating practices there, has said rebates pose “an inherent conflict of interest” in school feeding programs because they favor highly processed industrial foods. In cases where schools pay a food service company a flat rate to provide meals, the companies are not required to disclose the rebates they collect. In those cases, Carroll recently told a U.S. Senate Panel, rebates tend to drive up the cost of food, cheating children out of nutrition they might otherwise have on their lunch trays.

Carroll also described cases where rebates discouraged the use of local farm products in school meals. Produce vendors can’t afford to pay a rebate for local apples. But in at least one case, a produce distributor raised the prices of his goods so that he could pay a rebate to a food service company. A Homeland Security sub-committee in the U.S. Senate is investigating possible rebate fraud in contracts across the entire federal government.”

The top contributors to Chatwells’ rebate dollars included Performance Food Group, which paid more than $400,000 over the last three years, followed by General Mills, Kraft Foods, Country Pure Foods and Jenny-O Turkey. Other companies who made the list include:

ConAgra

Otis Spunkmeyer

Kellog’s

Coca-Cola, Dr. Pepper, 7-Up

FritoLay

Tyson

Nestle

Cargill Meat Solutions

Campbell’s Foodservice

Raising a Life-Long Healthy Eater

Food and beverage companies spend $2 billion a year promoting unhealthy foods to kids, and while ultimately it’s the parents’ responsibility to feed their children healthy foods, junk food ads make this much more difficult than it should be. As a result, the state of most kids’ diets in the United States is not easy to swallow.

Only 21% of youth age 6-19 eat the recommended five or more servings of fruits and vegetables each day

This is a veritable recipe for disease, and is a primary reason why today’s kids are arguably less healthy than many prior generations. Obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure — these are diseases that once appeared only in middle-age and beyond, but are now impacting children. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that by 2050, one in three U.S. adults will have diabetes — one of them could be your child if you do not take steps to cancel out the messages junk-food marketers are sending and instead teach them healthy eating habits.

Make no mistake, the advertisers are doing all they can to lure your child in, just as Big Tobacco did generations ago.

So you need to first educate yourself about proper nutrition and the dangers of junk food and processed foods in order to change the food culture of your entire family. To give your child the best start at life, and help instill healthy habits that will last a lifetime, you must lead by example. Children will simply not know which foods are healthy unless you, as a parent, teach it to them first.

If you want to get involved on a larger scale, the Prevention Institute’s “We’re Not Buying It” campaign is petitioning President Obama to put voluntary, science-based nutrition guidelines into place for companies that market foods to kids. You can sign this petition now. I also urge you to go a step further and stop supporting the companies that are marketing junk foods and beverages to your children today.

Ideally, you and your family will want to vote with your pocketbook and avoid processed food and sugary sodas while instead choosing unprocessed raw, organic and/or locally grown foods as much as possible. These are the foods your child will thrive on, and it’s important they learn what real, healthy food is right from the get-go.

This way, when they become tweens and teenagers, they may eat junk food here and there at a friend’s house, but they will return to real food as the foundation of their diet — and that habit will continue on with them for a lifetime.

The Obama administration has now provided incentives for escalating entitlement programs funded by taxpayers by giving the state of Oregon a $5 million bonus for adding a significant increase of citizens to its Food Stamp recipient roster. This roster has already increased by 60% since 2008, that’s over 780,000 people- that’s 1 out of 5 in Oregon.

More on the story can be found at Judicial Watch. And the official press release from the Oregon DHS is available here.

In my opinion I feel that this just goes to further illustrate the intricacies of the corruption of our government. You’ve got the USDA pushing food stamps on people to make them more dependent on the Government and JP Morgan underwriting the Food Stamp program and becoming filthy rich off the disparity of others. Now USA Today tells us that food stamps will soon be used at fast food chains; so there you have the poisonous processed foods becoming even MORE easily available and destroying the health of the Country subsequently feeding more into the medical industrial complex and reducing a larger portion of the populations overall quality of life.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) yesterday released their consumer price index (CPI) data for the month of July. The BLS reported an increase in year-over-year CPI growth to 3.63%, the highest rate of U.S. price inflation since October of 2008. July’s official government reported year-over-year U.S. price inflation rate of 3.63% was up from 3.56% in June, 3.57% in May, 3.16% in April, 2.68% in March, 2.11% in February, 1.63% in January, 1.5% in December, and 1.1% in November.

The official rate of U.S. price inflation has increased by 230% over the last eight months. NIA conservatively projects the official rate of U.S. price inflation to surpass 4% by year-end and 5% in early 2012. NIA estimates the real rate of U.S. price inflation, without geometric weighting and hedonics, to currently be approaching 8%. NIA projects the real rate of U.S. price inflation to reach double-digit territory by mid-2012, if not much sooner.

Gold prices today reached a new all time high of $1,877 per ounce. Gold is the best gauge of inflation, not the CPI. On June 15th when the BLS reported May CPI data, gold was trading for only $1,520 per ounce. Even though the BLS reported a year-over-year CPI increase for the month of May of 3.16%, the mainstream media reported that inflation was slowing down and not a problem because gas prices were declining. Although seasonal adjusted gas prices in the month of May were down 2%, NIA reported to you that non-adjusted gas prices actually rose 3.6%. NIA then warned you that the BLS’s seasonal adjustments will reverse beginning in the month of July and start boosting reported gas prices.

NIA was right, seasonal adjusted gas prices in the month of July increased 4.7%. The mainstream media intentionally misled Americans about price inflation during the month of June, but the world is now recognizing the truth about how U.S. price inflation is spiraling out of control with the price of gold having risen 23% since mid-June. The investment community is also finally realizing what NIA has been saying for years, inflation does not create real economic growth.

The Dow Jones declined today by 172.93 points to 10,817.65 and the Dow Jones/Gold ratio fell to 5.84. The Dow Jones/Gold ratio is declining at a faster rate than even we expected. NIA was one of the only organizations in the world to accurately predict that the Dow Jones/Gold ratio would decline to 6.5 in 2011. NIA continues to believe that the Dow Jones/Gold ratio will decline to 1 this decade, which will mean another 83% loss for Dow Jones stocks in terms of real money.

The lower the stock market declines in the near-term, the greater the chances are that the Federal Reserve will soon unleash QE3 in disguise under a new name. Despite gold reaching a new all time high, the core-CPI, which the Federal Reserve likes to use to gauge inflation because it excludes food and energy prices, is currently up 1.77% on a year-over-year basis, compared to an annual gain of 0.61% in October of last year. Even though core-CPI growth appears to still be low, year-over-year core-CPI growth has increased by 290% since October of last year, a larger gain on a percentage basis than the official CPI. Ever since the Federal Reserve announced QE2 in November of last year, core-CPI has increased for nine straight months.

By the time the 2012 Presidential election comes around, inflation will be the top concern on the minds of all Americans. Inflation will be an even bigger concern than unemployment, because nobody will want to have a job that pays them a salary in U.S. dollars. The only Presidential candidate who has the knowledge and courage necessary to preserve what little purchasing power the U.S. dollar still has left is Ron Paul. NIA supports Ron Paul to become the Republican nominee in the 2012 U.S. Presidential election. To become the Republican nominee, Ron Paul will need to win the Republican presidential primaries. Unlike the general election to be held on November 6th, 2012, the Republican primaries are a series of primary elections and caucuses that are spread out over five months beginning in February.

Iowa is always the first state to vote and will have their caucuses on February 6th, followed by New Hampshire on February 14th, Nevada on February 18th, and South Carolina on February 28th. The results of the first few primaries/caucuses usually influence how people will vote in the following primaries/caucuses. It is important for a candidate to build momentum early on. If a candidate doesn’t have a strong showing in early primary states, they frequently drop out of the race before all of the primaries/caucuses are completed.

The way the primaries are structured gives voters in early primary states, especially voters in Iowa, a lot of power compared to voters in states like New York who very often don’t vote until the nominee has already been determined. About six months before every Iowa Republican primary is the Ames Straw Poll, an unofficial Presidential straw poll that takes place in Ames, Iowa, of who Iowa voters are planning to support in their caucuses. The 2011 Ames Straw Poll just took place on August 13th with Michele Bachmann finishing first place with 4,823 votes and Ron Paul coming in second with 4,671 votes, only 152 votes behind Bachmann.

To attend the Ames Straw Poll and have the opportunity to vote in the poll, attendees were required to purchase a ticket priced at $30. Bachmann gave her supporters 6,000 free tickets at a cost to her campaign of $180,000. Only 80% of the people she gave free tickets to actually voted for her and that’s assuming none of the people who bought tickets voted for her. Bachmann didn’t just pay for the entrance of 6,000 people who she thought supported her, but she paid a small fortune to have Grammy Award winning country singer Randy Travis perform in a special air-conditioned tent. Bachmann even paid to transport forty bus loads of Randy Travis fans to the event, who were required to register at the Bachmann table and vote before seeing the entertainment.

With Bachmann spending a total of nearly $1 million on this event, she should have won the straw poll in a blow out. Click on the link below to see a shocking video we just posted to the NIA blog of the never ending line of Bachmann “supporters” registering at her table so that they could vote without paying the $30 fee. NIA believes that many of these people pretended to support her in order to get free tickets, but actually voted for Ron Paul: http://inflation.us/blog/2011/08/crazy-video-of-bachmann-ames-straw-poll-line/

The morning after Bachmann’s phony victory, she appeared on five different nationwide talk shows. Ron Paul wasn’t allowed to appear on any, with both ‘Meet the Press’ and ‘Fox News Sunday’ canceling interviews they had scheduled with him. Meet the Press spent the morning talking about Bachmann’s win and Tim Pawlenty dropping out of the race after finishing third with less than half of the votes of Bachmann and Ron Paul. They barely mentioned Ron Paul even when he finished in a statistical dead heat with Bachmann.

Even more frustrating and disturbing, the Wall Street Journal published a long article Sunday morning about the race and it focused almost entirely on Bachmann’s straw poll win and Rick Perry’s entry into the race. The article only had one sentence about Ron Paul that read, “Libertarian Ron Paul, who has no chance to win the nomination, finished a close second.” On Monday morning, Ron Paul was scheduled to appear on NBC’s ‘Today’ show, but that interview was canceled as well with an NBC official saying it was due to “logistics and timing reasons with the news in Indiana and Somalia.”

The mainstream media believes that if they repeat “Ron Paul has no chance of winning” enough times, it will be a self-fulfilling prophecy. The same applies to the media constantly referring to Mitt Romney as the front-runner. The media supports Romney because they like how he is a part of the Republican establishment and if elected would stick with the status quo in Washington.

Four years ago when Ron Paul was relatively unknown, Romney was the winner of the 2007 Ames Straw Poll. Rudy Giuliani and John McCain, who were both also seeking the 2008 Republican presidential nomination, chose not to participate in the 2007 Ames Straw Poll. Romney at the time in his own words called Giuliani and McCain cowards. Romney said, “I think if they thought they could have won, they would have been here,” and “If you can’t compete in the heartland, if you can’t compete in Iowa in August, how are you going to compete in January when the caucuses are held, and how are you going to compete in November of ’08?”

NIA believes that if Romney thought that he could have won the 2011 Ames Straw Poll, he would have been there. Romney knows that he lost all of his grassroots supporters when he spoke out in favor of the Federal Reserve’s destructive monetary policies and said Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke was doing a good job. Romney showed his true colors when he said that the Federal Reserve is a non-issue and that he won’t be discussing it during his campaign. He has now proven himself to be a hypocrite who was scared of looking bad by losing to Ron Paul in the straw poll and losing his “front-runner” status that was handed to him by the mainstream media. If Romney was afraid to compete in Iowa this month, NIA sees no chance of him winning in Iowa this February and no chance of him winning the Republican nomination.

With Iowa voters having a lot of power being in the first primary state, Iowa residents have spent more time researching the candidates than residents of most other states. Because Iowa voters are educated on the issues, especially issues affecting the economy, the media knew Ron Paul would have a strong showing in the Ames Straw Poll and for weeks leading up to it ran countless stories designed to downplay the poll and make it seem irrelevant. One Fox News reporter even went as far as saying that winning the straw poll is a negative and makes it nearly impossible to win the nomination. None of these things were said before the poll in 2007 because the media knew their darling Romney would win.

All educated Americans who understand the facts and truth about the U.S. economy and inflation are in strong support of Ron Paul because of his 24 year record in Congress of voting against increases in government spending and taxes, and voting for measures to strengthen our currency and reduce monetary inflation. Ron Paul stands for everything that NIA believes in such as liberty, freedom, and sound money. He has done more to protect the U.S. Constitution than any other person in Washington. Our founding fathers had the foresight 224 years ago to see the economic problems we have today. Even back then, rulers of nations had a history of coin clipping, replacing the silver in coins with base metals, and implementing other measures that stole from the purchasing power of ordinary citizens. Our founding fathers never would have imagined just how easy it has become to create inflation, where now the Federal Reserve with the click of a mouse can credit trillions of dollars to any banking institution worldwide.

For years, the media has dismissed Ron Paul’s fight against the Federal Reserve and its destruction of the U.S. dollar. The media calls Ron Paul’s ideas radical, but NIA believes Ron Paul is the most sane person in Washington. NIA believes balancing the budget, auditing the Federal Reserve, returning to a gold standard, and bringing our troops home from the Middle East, are all sane ideas that must be implemented if we want to have any hope of avoiding hyperinflation.

Rick Perry, the governor of Texas who just entered the race for the Republican presidential nomination, was recently asked about the Federal Reserve and in response he called Bernanke’s acts of printing money “treasonous”. NIA was the first to call Bernanke’s actions treasonous. Back on December 9th of last year, NIA released an article entitled “WikiLeaks, Bernanke, and Hyperinflation” in which NIA said that it was “deeply disturbed by how U.S. politicians and the mainstream media have been calling for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to be charged with treason.” Although in no way does NIA support Assange or his actions, we expressed in our article how we don’t believe it is a treasonous act to help spread the truth about our country’s foreign policy and other sensitive topics when the information he posted was given to him and in no way did he hack any government systems to obtain it.

NIA went on to state in its December 9th article, “If there is one American who deserves to be charged with treason, it is Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.” It is not humanly possible to betray ones country in a way that is more egregious than Bernanke’s despicable acts. NIA is currently in the process of producing a sequel to its critically acclaimed documentary ‘Meltup’, which has received over 1.1 million views with 96% of its viewers “liking” the movie and only 4% “disliking” it, a record for YouTube documentaries at least 50 minutes in length with over 1 million views. NIA’s sequel to ‘Meltup’ will expose the latest updated facts and truth about the U.S. economy, Federal Reserve, and inflation. It will set a whole new standard as the most in-depth, informative, educational, and entertaining economic documentary ever produced. Most importantly, it will expose why Bernanke’s actions are indeed treasonous.

As far as Rick Perry is concerned, he is really no different than Romney. Perry like Romney is a governor who was elected to office due to his strong ties to the Republican establishment. Both Perry and Romney according to many media pundits look very Presidential. You will never hear Perry or Romney speak a word about bringing our troops home, repealing legislation that invades Americans’ privacy rights without making us any safer here at home, and eliminating entire departments of government including the Department of Education, Department of Energy, Department of Commerce, Department of Health and Human Services, and Department of Homeland Security. These unnecessary bureaucracies have done nothing but add to our budget deficits, without a single success story to justify their existence.

Perry is not a true fiscal conservative. He and his wife complained that the Texas governor’s mansion was too small and is now spending $11 million of President Obama’s stimulus money to renovate and expand its size. With the construction now taking place at the governor’s mansion and Perry unable to live there, Texas taxpayers have so far spent $700,000 to rent him an even bigger Texas mansion and to cover expenses at the mansion including Neiman Marcus window coverings and a subscription to Food & Wine Magazine.

What is unbelievable to us is that Perry for the most part has been a career politician, yet he has somehow managed to become a multi-millionaire while spending nearly all of his time in public office earning a relatively modest salary. Of course, if Perry was elected President, nothing much will change from the Obama administration and within a few years, he might become a multi-billionaire because a billionaire will be the new millionaire. Make no mistake about it, Perry may be trying to differentiate himself from Romney by speaking out against the Fed, but as President of the United States of America, NIA guarantees that Perry wouldn’t do a damn thing to limit the Fed’s powers and stop it from wiping out both the savings of senior citizens and the purchasing power of their Social Security checks. Perry is already in the pocket of the big banks and we just posted an 11 second video on the NIA blog that proves it: http://inflation.us/blog/2011/08/shocking-video-bank-of-america-executive-offers-to-help-out-rick-perry/

Tomorrow, Saturday, August 20th, is Ron Paul’s birthday. To celebrate his birthday and help build momentum for his Presidential campaign, Ron Paul supporters have organized a huge “moneybomb” that starts at midnight tonight. If you would like to give Ron Paul the best possible birthday President and help increase the chances of our nation’s survival, please make a donation beginning at midnight tonight by going to: http://www.ronpaul2012.com/

It is important to spread the word about NIA to as many people as possible, as quickly as possible, if you want America to survive hyperinflation. Please tell everybody you know to become members of NIA for free immediately at: http://inflation.us

(NaturalNews) The US Food and Drug Administration has a long history of conducting armed, SWAT-style raids on farmers, cancer treatment pioneers and dietary supplement manufacturers. This list, compiled by the editors of NaturalNews, reveals only some of the hundreds of armed FDA raids that have been conducted in the last twenty-five years.

What you see from this is a pattern of government-sponsored terrorism against innocent Americans and small business people; all done in the name of “protecting” the public from milk, walnuts, vitamins, plants or fruit extracts. The real reason behind all this, of course, is that the FDA has long waged a campaign of fear and intimidation against natural product providers for the sole purpose of destroying the natural products industry and thereby handing Big Pharma a monopoly over health treatment medicines.

If you’re skeptical of that conclusion, read the timeline and see for yourself. And if you’re currently a farmer who might be targeted in a future FDA raid, be sure to read this helpful resource created by the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund entitled How to Survive a Farm Raid:http://www.ftcldf.org/farm-raids.html

Dr. Pieczenik is a very well informed ex-US Government insider. For those of you that have been following his interviews, he just recently had another this past Monday (7/25/2011) . It’s just over an hour long, and as all of his other interviews, this is a must-listen for everyone. If you haven’t heard any of them before, I would certainly start out with the first one, all of the other interviews are located here.

Below is the interview, you can stream it straight from your web browser or you can save the mp3 file to listen to later.

I am quite certain that by now everyone has heard of MSG (monosodium glutamate), but do you actually know the details of this poisonous food additive? Did you know that this food additive is addicting? It confuses your brain from the cellular level and makes it think that you’re consuming something nutritious (like something high in protein) and makes you eat more. It disables the parts of your brain that make you realize that you’re full, that are to stop you from eating more, but instead causes you to eat more.

MSGTruth.org has a chronological map of what happens when you eat MSG, and it is as follows: You eat the MSG-containing food, the cells in the arcunate nucleus of the hypothalamus that produce dopamine and regulate appetite are promptly destroyed, then the hypothalamus becomes leptin-resistant. Leptin is a chemical secreted by the brain that regulates, amongst other things, your appetite. The glutamate, which is linked to Alzheimer and autism, activates the AMPK, which is the ‘master metabolic regulator’, slowing down all metabolism and desire for physical activity. Next your fat cells release leptin to stop the AMPK, but these signals are ignored by the hypothalamus, increasing your appetite and lowering, more, your physical activity; increasing your caloric intake while decreasing your natural metabolic caloric expenditure (making you fat even if you exercise). Even though MSG is an amino acid, contrary to nearly all other amino acids, it makes your pancreas increase insulin production, which is the #1 cause of type 2 diabetes. When the insulin drops our blood sugar we become even more hungry. Even if you exercise this formula while cause you to become fat, develop diabetes, and become addicted to foods containing MSG, which there are many.

Side-effects of MSG:

Migraines

Fibromyalgia-type pain

Autism

ADHD

Asthma

Alzheimers

IBS

anxiety

Heart disease

Parkinsons

Multiple Sclerosis

Unfortunately the FDA has allowed for loopholes in the ingredients listing of food products containing MSG. This is how the FDA reacts when some of their biggest lobbyists are under attack by the general public. They have allowed food manufacturers to list their MSG-containing products as Hydrolyzed [vegetable] proteins, autolyzed yeast, hydrolyzed gelatin (yes, this is in VACCINES!), any yeast extract, Doritos® and so much more. These foods should be avoided at all costs.

There is so much more to know about this debilitating food additive, please do the research and find out for yourself, if not for the sake of yourself, but the sake of your family.

So I got into an ‘argument’ with my significant other tonight. It all started with a story her friend had told her happened to her – Her son blacked another child’s eye, and the daycare worker wrote, with chalk, on the offending child’s forehead “BAD”, and then was born the dispute of whether or not this was acceptable. Granted, the daycare didn’t notify the offending child’s mother what had happened, or even what they did, and I feel that this was wrong. But as far as the repercussion goes, I liken it to the old practice of the dunce cap. Something that relatively isolates the child in such a way that lets the other children know they had done something very bad, which would in turn cause the offending child to think about what they did and realize the severity.

That was my opinion, and my significant-other’s varied. Which then led me to play out an in depth scenario involving Child Protective Services (CPS), with me then illustrating that CPS is greatly employed of pedophiles and sexual offenders. And that there are adoption quotas for blonde-haired blue-eyed children, and foster programs along with CPS get paid when these popular requests are filled (yes, this is all on record, look it up). I even brought up, in analogy, how hospitals receive incentives to fulfill organ donor needs, for example- a rich person is dying, needs a donated kidney, there are none available, a person comes into the ER with a bad headache and happens to be an organ donor, the hospital induces death, retrieves the kidney, performs the transplant, rich person lives. This is not unheard of, this has happened many times.

So behest my references and examples, all of them on public record, frequently recurring… she tells me that she doesn’t want to hear about it, but it was said with such strong conviction that she was practically insinuating that I was one of the people performing these horrible actions. So in the beginning she was ignorant to the fact that these things are commonplace, but after being informed, wouldn’t that retract ignorance? Then must only leave denial. So, if “ignorance is bliss”, and you get rid of the ignorance, but delve into denial, which is more of an arbitrarily self-inflicted ignorance, would that be more blissful? Or am I just an idiot for caring?

Retired 3-Star General, Hamid Gul, gave another interview (audio available at the end of the post) with Mr. Jones on Wednesday, June 15th. During the interview he talks about how Osama Bin Laden’s wife and children were living in the building that was alleged to have been raided by the US Navy Seals months ago. The news first reported that there was a 45-minute firefight, in which time Bin Laden had used his wife as a shield. Then the Government changed their story, said Bin Laden was unarmed and not resisting, his family was there, there was no firefight and they shot him in the head. The infamous “Situation Room Photo” alleged that everyone in the room was watching the raid live as it happened. Then it turned out that ~20 minutes before the raid, the live feeds of the soldiers’ helmet cams was cut, and that there was no way they could have been watching live. As you can see, in the picture, Hillary Clinton was dramatically covering her mouth with her hand. After it had become public that they weren’t actually watching the raid she made a statement that she was covering her mouth to prevent a cough due to her early spring allergies.

In the interview with (R) Gen. Gul, he talks about how Bin Laden had been dead for years, and the Pakistani intelligence agencies and the US Intelligence agencies made an agreement to “at an appropriate time, in order to declare retreat and to build a pretext for withdrawing from Afghanistan we would carry out an operation”, but the CIA chief, Leon Panetta, wanted to take the credit for it and went ahead with the operation.

Below is the full interview that you can listen to right now, or download the mp3 for offline listening, as well as just the segment of the interview concerning Bin Laden which can also be listened to online or offline.

So, I work (and have for over 5 years) for a large cable company, which will remain nameless at this point, though, may become self-evident. On all of our work orders now for the past year there is a section that the customer must initial to indicate acknowledgement that they allow the company to resolve disputes through arbitration and give up “various rights including a trial by jury”. Of all the other technicians I’ve talked to thus far, none of them have even read what they are told to have the customers sign.

[Un?]Fortunately I have actually read (and firmly stand by and support) both the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and find that this disallowance of adjudication violates the 6th amendment to the US Constitution (part of the Bill of Rights) in which I was under the impression that these are inalienable rights bestowed upon everyone, a mere cable service company hasn’t the right to make you succumb.
[Un?]Fortunately I have, my entire life, been blessed with a ridiculous and crippling spirit to fight what I feel is wrong. Since the implementation of this work order, where the customer is to indicate that they understand this I have always put “#6” preventing them from accidentally indicating any acknowledgement of such policy, and for about a year now, certainly many hundreds of work orders, I have had such practice, and it has finally come to the attention of my boss’s boss. He then copied a work order of one of my jobs and placed a post-it note on it saying “what does #6 mean?” in which he gave to my immediate supervisor. My supervisor asked me what it was about and nearly had an aneurism when I plainly told him of my intent. For some reason (decadence?) he, like most others would have been, was absolutely flabbergasted. “You realize you could lose your job, right?” he asked. And without batting and eyelash I said yes. After much ‘back and forth’ I said that I was willing to put my neck on the chopping block for the sake of people I don’t even know, and apparently this sort of statement was absolutely unheard of, or at least forgotten. And I stand by that and will until this is all played out, no matter where it goes.
I feel as if none of us read the paperwork we are presented in which to sign. In my five years of employment and requiring work order signatures I have had only one person that wanted to read it first. That we just sign what is necessary to get what it is that we desire. Though a dangerous practice, I feel that those that request our signature are equally oblivious to it, elsewise some of them may bring it to our attention. The way I handled it was to not even bring it to their attention, so that they would have no accountability, because they shouldn’t. No one that is just receiving cable services (tv, internet, digital phone) needs to be worrying about whether or not they are giving up ‘inalienable’ rights… it’s CABLE! I feel as if the company takes advantage of people in this way so that if there is a dispute the customer will have no leg to stand on, as they have given up their rights to a trial, leaving the verdict not to a Judge, nor Jury, but to the very company seeking claim.

Anyhow… after much background and digression… I go against the boss’s boss in 3 days time. Standing by what I told my boss and have illustrated here. Sadly having not investigated the legitimacy of whether or not they even have legal right to do this, nor really caring. I had, in the past, emailed what Constitutional Lawyers I could find online, receiving the generic ‘I can’t really say anything’ prevention of accreditation line back. But whether or not, in my, perhaps flawed, view, they, nor anyone else, can make you give up your Constitutional Rights by either will or force, and I will not be a catalyst in which to allow this to happen. I may very well lose my job, and in turn my home, my Family, and possessions via needs of sale or pawn, but I will NEVER lose my dignity, nor the satisfaction of knowing that I did what was right and stood up for the rights of many hundreds of complete strangers, as this is humanity in its rawest form, bestowed unto us all, and can NEVER be taken away, only forfeited.

[update 06/04/11 evening]Thank you to everyone who has commented on this, especially those with positive things to say, but also to the rest. Not only on this page, but also to the many hundreds on the reddit page.As it turns out I was ignorantly referencing the 6th amendment, and I was wrong. The 6th amendment is for criminal cases. It’s the 7th amendment of which is for civil cases. I do apologize for my mistake. 90% of the statements against what I’d done were because I got the two confused in memory, and should have double-checked the facts of which amendment first before putting my energy into tying to find out whether they had the right to do that or not.
So, to clear it up: It’s the 7th amendment of which is for civil cases. I wish there were a way to get all of the readers back to see the clarification, and, sadly, now the steam of this article has considerably subsided. Thank you again to all that have expressed an interest, be it positive or negative, in this matter.

[update 06/06/11]The verdict is in: I am not getting fired. I am to not do it again.

We’ve all heard the term “highway robbery”, but now Police Officers in mid-Tennessee are implementing the practice as standard operating procedure. What’s worse, if anything can be, is that there is a quota of how much cash they must seize within a specific time frame from motorists, and if the Officer does not reach that quota there is a possibility that they may be fired.
The Tennessee Police are assuming that all cash is drug-related, and the only way to get your cash back is to file legal charges. If you fail to do so they will keep it.
There are two different agencies performing these robberies and they are fighting, in some cases literally, amongst each other over who gets to rob the motorists.If you’re on a mobile phone and can’t see the video below turn off the mobile theme at the bottom of the page, or watch it on YouTube.
